Volunteering at the Burton

If you’re interested in volunteering at The Burton – a creative, supportive and interesting venue – then we’d certainly welcome you to join our friendly team. You don’t need to know anything about art, crafts or retail, just have the passion and energy to work with people and get stuck into a range of jobs.

We don’t mind if you’re becoming a volunteer to learn new skills, get some social time, or are working on an arts project at college and want to find out more about the industry – as long as you’re willing to be enthusiastic then you’re welcome to join us.
